Electric generator

ABSTRACT

My Improved Electrical Generator is a high efficiency generator that functions by a series of frictionless bearings and rotating magnets.

This application is a continuation of my Provisional Patent Ser. No.61/340,345, filed Mar. 16, 2010

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION AND BRIEF SUMMARY

This invention relates generally to electrical generators and morespecifically to electric generators that convert mechanical energy intoelectric current by rotating either magnets or copper wire coils on acentral shaft or “rotor” inside a closed container with either copperwire coils or magnets fixed to its inside walls thus by the spinning ofthe rotor's action and the varying of the magnets poles induceselectrical current in the copper coils.

Throughout the history of the electric generator there has existed theproblem that when you put what is generally known as “load” such as, anelectric light into the electric circuit it becomes harder to turn inproportion to the amount of electric current being used to light lights,run heaters, etc. and therefore, requiring much more mechanical energyto keep the rotor spinning. This is a result of Lenz's Law that states:when a conductor cuts magnetic lines of induction, the induced currentin the wire is in such a direction that its own magnetic field generatedby that current acts on the original magnetic field in a way opposingthe motion which produced it; formulated by the Russian H. F. Lenz in1833.

The electric generator was not invented. The explanation of this is thatit is actually the very first electrical device ever patented in theUnited States which was Thomas Davenport's electric motor on Feb. 25,1837. He had vast visions of electric trains, washing machines, etc.,none of which he ever saw in his life time because the only source ofelectric current were batteries. It was years later, after his death,that someone unknown discovered that by turning his electric motor withmechanical energy it was converted into electric current. Put moresimply, the electric motor and this type of electric generator are thesame machine.

Thus, it can truly be said that the electric generator was not putthrough the invention process or scientific observations therefore,causing its odd position in electrical science that some of the beliefsthat surround it are actually just that and not genuine laws of physics.

In accordance with the foregoing, it may be regarded as an object of thepresent invention to provide an electrical generator that is soconfigured as to overcome the effects of Lenz's Law thus providing amuch more efficient electrical generator in its corresponding saving offuel cost.

Now, in accordance with the present invention the foregoing, and other,will become apparent in the course of the ensuing specification and areachieve by providing an electrical generator whose rotor which has fixedto its central shaft two parallel cross members (wings that function inthe low pressure internal atmosphere of the generator and negate theusual up and down motion of the opposing magnets) that have at theirouter ends bearings with an axel connected between them and on theseaxels are mounted circular magnets, in the generators closed containercopper coils are mounted on inside walls of the closed container in aposition that as the rotor spins the magnets passing by induceelectrical current in the coils and its opposing magnetic field exertsits force against the magnet. The magnet itself is caused to turn andtherefore “rolls” past the copper coil relieving the affects of Lenz'sLaw.

The next point of friction is caused by the centrifugal force, caused bythe spinning rotor, acting on the spinning magnet to throw themoutwards, this is overcome by solid aluminum bearings imbedded in thewings to oppose magnets on the axils that are magnetized (+) plus and(−) negative side to side therefore inducing electric current in thealuminum as they spin with the axils and the resulting magnetic fieldthat opposes them makes it impossible for them to actually touch thebearings.

Now, in accordance with the present invention, the foregoing objects andothers, as will become apparent in the course of ensuing specification,are achieved in this improved electrical generator.
